Battlefields: The Night Witches #2

Written by Garth Ennis

More World War II goodness from Garth Ennis. The plucky Russian female pilots begin to win respect (and maybe something more?) from their previously sexist commanding officer, and the Germans who were somewhat likable in the first issue become more Nazi-fied, except for the one soldier that clearly doesn't want to be a Nazi.

The story is somewhat predictable, but that's sort of what I read Garth Ennis war comics for. He structures stories that are familiar and enjoyable at the same time.

I also like the shorter format of these three-issue mini-series.
